Just let this auction passed me by as I was feeling a little poor, end of last year and worrying about the up and coming new year and all that.
I know its worth a lot more than the final bid price.
Good balance, not running but complete, the only real downfall seems the dial patina.

not the best of screen grabs.

Would this be for restoration purposes? Look pretty rough

Yes. if you could find a replacement dial you would be looking at something more than 10 times the sale price or if you are like me can be satisfied with that lived in vintage look.
Sale price was in NZ dollars so roughly US$220.00 for a UG bicompax chronograph

Great thread, now I am kicking myself more!

Hot tip: the reeeaaally nice Universal watches Mark finds make it nowhere near that thread 😒
